1 week agoI'm Not Handy, But I'm Copying This Cozy IKEA PAX Bed Nook DIY
Use modular IKEA PAX cabinets built up around a bed to create a cozy, built-in bed nook that maximizes vertical storage in small rental bedrooms.
Ferm Living's Bridge system is one part coat rack, one part display piece for your most-worn pieces. Built for versatility, the slim oak beams provide two tiers of storage space, whether you need room for hangers or just a place to hang your hat at the end of the day. It's nearly five feet high, meaning none of your beloved coats will sweep the floor. Its vertical branches would also make sense as a place to display fabrics or hang towels to dry.
Living in an apartment has made me an expert at finding small-space decluttering solutions, and my go-to retailer is always Yamazaki. Our editors are huge fans of the stylish designs from this Japanese brand, a sentiment that only grew stronger after the launch of the Apartment Therapy and Yamazaki collab. This minimalist collection, featuring a bright Yellow Pear color, offers ideal storage solutions for any room, including the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.
Living in an apartment with two young children, I'm constantly seeking ways to optimize our small space. That's why I was so excited to discover the Improvements Rolling Cart. This super slim cart, with its two tiers and tabletop, is perfect for adding instant storage in kitchens, bathrooms, kids' rooms, laundry areas, and more. Even better, it's currently on sale at HSN for its lowest price in months - just $49.95!
In a world where homes are increasingly filled with curated, vintage pieces - some very expensive - it's natural to assume that those get all the attention. And while thrifting and sourcing add meaning to inanimate objects and share a reflection of you, sometimes it's the most unexpected items that take the spotlight. But out of all the beautiful bits and bobs in Hollis' home, one item gets asked about the most. "Hands-down, my Wayfair burlwood credenza," she explained at the time of the House Tour.
Living in a small space means getting creative with storage - and sometimes the best ideas are also the simplest. From smart furniture swaps to surprising ways to use everyday items, these are tried-and-true solutions we've featured on Apartment Therapy, showing how even the tiniest corners of your home can be put to work. Here are some of our favorite small-space storage ideas to try in every room of your home.
My New York City bathroom is pretty tiny - I don't even have a proper vanity! But as someone who loves to try out all kinds of different beauty products, I knew I'd need to bring some sort of storage piece into the space. While my medicine cabinet is great for daily skincare items and vitamins, it's certainly not large enough to house my sizable collection of blushes, sunscreens, travel-sized toiletries, and the like.
As someone who lives in a small apartment, there are two main things I think about when looking for household items: Does it look good, and is it functional? I want the things in my space to be aesthetically pleasing (especially because they will stand out in my small space more prominently than they would in a bigger space), and I can't sacrifice an inch for something not functional.
